Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat durum wraps
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Mint leaves
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 head Lettuce
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to prepare the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. Finely chop the mint leaves.
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, mint leaves, and a pinch of salt. Set the yogurt sauce aside.
Slice tomatoes and red onion thinly. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the chicken kebabs for about 15 minutes, rotating them occasionally, until they are cooked through with a nice char.
Warm the whole wheat durum wraps on the grill for a minute on each side.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on a wrap, add grilled chicken pieces, sliced tomato, onion, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
Wrap tightly, slice in half if preferred, and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
